Indian edtech ecosystem to see further integration of traditional models: GSV Ventures

Live Mint  

MUMBAI : The Indian edtech players are expected to integrate traditional education approaches with educational technology as the ecosystem matures following the post-pandemic boom, top executives at edtech-focused venture capital firm GSV Ventures told Mint. This marks a shift from the massive post-pandemic edtech boom that saw edtech players like Byju’s, Unacademy, and Physics Wallah, among others, come of age in the country. Time to mature Online-based edtech players, which initially aimed to disrupt the traditional education ecosystem, have now started offering hybrid models. “We see this in the US market, where larger existing players often acquire smaller startups, and private equity investors step in to buy companies as they mature," she said.
